Valeo and DiDi Autonomous Driving – together for safe robotaxis
According to a company spokesperson from Valeo, the two companies aim to combine their expertise to offer passengers safe, reliable, comfortable, and cost-efficient autonomous driving services. With the investment in DiDi Autonomous Driving, Valeo intends to take this strategic partnership a step further and support the long-term development of a key player for the future of autonomous driving.
Joint Research Center
In particular, the companies will set up a joint research and development team working on safety systems for L4 robotaxis. To provide users with additional safety, Valeo and DiDi Autonomous Driving aim to complement the main system of the L4 standard technology, which enables autonomous and safe navigation for the robotaxi, with additional hardware and software. This Automated Safety Pilot is intended to provide redundancy to the main system in the event of a sudden failure, as well as tailored safety features for specific operating scenarios.
“Valeo has been developing leading technologies for many years to achieve and support Level 4 autonomous driving. DiDi Autonomous Driving, with its strong focus on shared mobility, is a leader in technological research and development as well as operational capabilities,” explains Geoffrey Bouquot, Executive Vice President Strategy and CTO of Valeo. “We are proud to sign this agreement today to invest in DiDi Autonomous Driving and support our R&D efforts in developing safety solutions. This strategic partnership will help Valeo offer solutions for intelligent, safe, and affordable mobility.”
The customized intelligent safety solution is designed to take over and control robotaxis, executing actions that ensure the safety of both passengers and other road users. This intelligent safety solution will initially be deployed in DiDi Autonomous Driving's L4 robotaxis.
"We are firmly committed to advancing the mass production and commercialization plan where safety always comes first. Valeo has been innovative for a century and has gained extensive experience in the mass production of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving Systems (ADS)," explains Meng Xing, COO of DiDi Autonomous Driving. "The strategic partnership with Valeo enables us to achieve significant breakthroughs in the standardization and scaling of key modules of autonomous driving systems, further improving the overall safety of the L4 robotaxis system, and offering passengers high-quality driverless mobility services. Together, we aim to accelerate the commercialization of autonomous driving technology."
What does this mean?
Valeo is one of the largest automotive suppliers in the world and, with DiDi Autonomous Driving, brings additional expertise in a future technology into the company. DiDi Autonomous Driving already has over 200 self-driving vehicles on the road in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and other Chinese metropolises, and recently launched the first 24-hour operation and maintenance center for vehicles, which features a 90 percent degree of automation.
